As it happens, I do get a great deal of satisfaction from my hi-fi. For about 15 years I was a typical "audiophile", forever seeking out better equipment to feed my habit. (In a sense, audiophilia is like an addiction). Then in 1993 I bought a new pair of speakers, and since then the urge to tinker and try out new things has practically disappeared. I put this down to the fact that when those speakers arrived, I had finally got to the point where my system was playing music instead of audio. For sure, I sometimes wonder whether something new is worth trying - hence the experiment with the Lucid DAC. But the bottom line is that I'm happy with the way it sounds and I have better things to do with my money.
Meanwhile, I'll occasionally pop up in here to offer some objective ying to the subjectivists' yang. This thread started out as a discussion of SPDIF. My only intention in posting was to point out how amazingly robust the protocol is, and that people fret far too much about it. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21415 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
